NBA Twitter Reacts To Kyrie Irving Saying Enforced Vaccine Is One Of The Biggest Human Rights Violations In History
Kyrie Irving is deemed as the poster boy of the NBA for the COVID-19 anti-vaccine mandates. He has remained unvaccinated for the longest time and has made it clear multiple times that he doesn’t plan on getting vaccinated.
Last year, Irving publicly went on record to clarify that he is neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine person. Rather, he just opposes enforced vaccination or vaccine mandates that allegedly cause people to lose their jobs.
Per Yahoo:
“Just know I’m rocking with all those that have lost their jobs to this mandate and I’m rocking with all those that chose to get vaccinated and are choosing to be safe as well. I’m on both sides of all this.”
“I have to stand with all those that are vaccinated and are choosing to go back to work and they have a job to do,” the NBA star added. “I’m supporting them and then also the unvaccinated that are being mandated to do this and are losing their livelihood. So we got to come together. No more division.”
Irving was only able to play 29 games last season due to New York City’s vaccine mandate that required athletes to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Despite the high consequence, Irving stood still and kept his stance until the city’s mandate was finally lifted.
Though Irving receives a ton of criticism, Irving still has never shied away from repeatedly doubling down on his vaccine stance. Hopping on Twitter, Irving has now made another noise after expressing yet another controversial opinion about the pandemic and vaccine mandates.
“If I can work and be unvaccinated, then all of my brothers and sisters who are also unvaccinated should be able to do the same, without being discriminated against, vilified, or fired.
This enforced Vaccine/Pandemic is one the biggest violations of HUMAN RIGHTS in history.”

This isn’t just dangerous – COVID vaccines save lives.
But it’s also wildly inaccurate, and, more importantly, quite disrespectful to victims of human rights violations in the past and present. https://t.co/p9YinnO1Qb

You probably think the Holocaust was fake then or that Slavery in America didn’t happen either

This is an outrageous proposition. Substitute small pox, or any preventable disease. Society is a social contract. We all have responsibilities we inherit being part of society. The vaccine has become part of a that agreement. It’s not hard
